Read moreNew report on MANPADS threat, anniversary of LTBT, Iran's enrichment of uranium and much more. Publication: Report Examines MANPADS Threat and International Efforts to Address It On November 28, 2002, terrorists fired two Soviet-designed SA-7 man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) at an Israeli plane destined for Tel Aviv as it departed from Moi International Airport in Mombasa, Kenya. The missiles missed their target but the incident was a wake-up call for governments around the world. After the attack, the United States and several other countries launched initiatives aimed at securing and destroying stockpiles of missiles and strengthening international controls of MANPADS. Is this enough, or is there more governments can do to reduce this threat? In a new report, “The MANPADS Threat and International Efforts To Address It”, Matt Schroeder, Director of the Arms Sales Monitoring Project, assesses the terrorist threat from MANPADS, evaluates efforts by the international community to curb this threat, and proposes additional measures that governments can take to further reduce the illicit proliferation and use of MANPADS. The report is available here.
